Sold! Separated House Rules couple Ryan Pusic and Candy Stuart make $200,000 profit on renovated Sydney home as it sells at auction

Their relationship may not have survived the stresses of participating on a renovating reality television program.

But at least House Rules contestants Candy Stuart and Ryan Pusic have made a pretty penny for their efforts.

The former couple sold their home in Emu Plains, Sydney for a pricey $590,000 at auction on Sunday - making a profit of almost $200,000 on the sum they orignally purchased the property for back in 2013, reports Property Observer.

'At the moment the market seems to be going crazy in Sydney and has been like that for the last 18 months, so selling the house has fallen into a good time for us.'

'We bandaged up the relationship and tried to make it work,' he said, adding: 'But as soon as the show was finished, that was it.'

The pair, who met on a dance floor in Newcastle, have not blamed the pressure of the show for their split but say simply that love was missing between them.

But it seems Candy, 26, had hoped the show would bring them closer together since she revealed that she wanted to appear in it so that Ryan, 29, could finally ask her to marry him.

The pair spent months pouring blood and sweat into the three-bedroom home, knocking down walls and increasing the number of rooms.

The property is listed with Property central, which says it boasts modernised living spaces, an added studio and an outdoor deck entertainment area.

This year's show pulled in its biggest audience attracting a total of 1.473 million metro audience, knocking Channel Nine's The Voice to third place.
